== Submitted for Your Approval ==<br />
<br />
I present the new [[Form:DnD Spell|form for submitting (non-epic) spells]], Courtesy of Semantic MediaWiki and Semantic Forms. [[Special:EditData/Form:DnD_Spell/User:Sledged/Atonement|Here]]'s what it looks like with the fields populated. —[[User:Sledged|Sledged]] ([[User talk:Sledged|talk]]) 15:30, 5 March 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Hm... I wish you could make it work more like [[Form:Rating]] where it uses a template which, once saved, goes to the normal wiki formatting. Can this be done with spells as well? It's just that I do not really want the formatting of all the spells changed to this new &quot;standard&quot;. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 20:18, 5 March 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
::If that is what is wanted all you have to do is add &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;subst:&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; in the form code next to any templates you want to be substituted onto the page. --[[User:Hawk|Hawk]] 20:33, 5 March 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::Just be aware that if &lt;tt&gt;subst:&lt;/tt&gt; is added, you'll lose the option of using the form to edit the page once it's been created. —[[User:Sledged|Sledged]] ([[User talk:Sledged|talk]]) 11:21, 6 March 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::It is a price I would be willing to pay. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 13:44, 6 March 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::Okay, there's a problem with &lt;tt&gt;subst:&lt;/tt&gt;. Part of the way to form works is that it looks at the template to see what properties it has and which parameters are associated with each property. When you use &lt;tt&gt;subst:&lt;/tt&gt;, it's looking for the page &lt;tt&gt;Template:subst:template name&lt;/tt&gt; instead of &lt;tt&gt;Template:template name&lt;/tt&gt; and it makes the form useless as a result. —[[User:Sledged|Sledged]] ([[User talk:Sledged|talk]]) 14:37, 6 March 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Wiki Criticism ==<br />
<br />
This is the most useless Wiki I have ever found on D&amp;D. I'm sick of homebrew rubbish. I'm trying to find info on Mask and Olidamarra (spelling?) and I can't find anything good) {{unsigned| 68.193.215.240}}<br />
<br />
:Admittedly, this probably isn't the best wiki to go to for official WotC material, but that doesn't make it useless. What's wrong with homebrew? WotC seems to encourage it, and the only real difference between good homebrew and published material is that the former is sold in books. --[[User:Daniel Draco|Daniel Draco]] 05:40, 14 April 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::We are not allowed to have information about Gods and Goddesses on D&amp;D Wiki. They are reserved as product identity. Sorry about that. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 21:27, 14 April 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Should be in [[Deities and Demigods]], no? If you want even more information than that, you're likely looking into some very specific Forgotten Realms books. --[[User:Sulacu|Sulacu]] 18:51, 20 April 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::Boy, I thought I was pushy and opinionated. This site rocks for people like us who want to post and discuss shit. What else could you want? So you want Wizards information? So what! They want your money! Give them money or shut up and start writing. That's just my opinion of this issue.<br />
<br />
:::::P ''';)''' -- [[User:Xidoraven|xido]] 15:07, 23 June 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::Yeah, this place is cool... Homebrew is awesome. Problem is (though the first dude will prolly never read this) that if information on those two would be available, the site'd get killed. Would be a shame :). Anyway, enough about that guy's comment. {{Unsigned|Deranged|14:09, 28 July 2009 (MDT)}}<br />
<br />
== WotC Website Material ==<br />
<br />
It occurred to me as I was answering a question about what material we have on the site...would we be able to host material from the wizards site? [http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/arch/psi The Mind's Eye], for instance, has some interesting things, and I would love to see things like it on the wiki. --[[User:Daniel Draco|Daniel Draco]] 19:16, 18 April 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Hm... Can we http://ww2.wizards.com/Company/Default.aspx?doc=SiteLegalNotice? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 14:19, 19 April 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::According to section 2, &quot;You are granted a limited, non-sublicenseable license to ''access'' and use the Site and ''electronically copy'' (except where specified as prohibited) and ''print to hard copy portions'' of Site Content for your ''personal'', noncommercial use only; provided, that you preserve any copyright, trademark or other similar notices contained in or associated with such Site Content.

::In other words, I think not. Hosting anything more than links here violates the spirit of the first, italicized part (my emphasis) and also several of the explicit prohibitions (especially the bolded one, also my emphasis added).

<br />
:::Well once you sift through a little legal phrasing, that's pretty clear...their terms of use explicitly forbid it, since a wiki definately counts as public display. Oh well ''':/'''. --[[User:Daniel Draco|Daniel Draco]] 16:50, 19 April 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::The shame is that this material will disappear. When I was documenting Wizard's past products, I found that many items had dropped off their site. They are poor caretakers of their own material. The academic in me want to preserve their own web content for their own good.--[[User:Dmilewski|Dmilewski]] 18:10, 19 April 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
==Feats==<br />
<br />
How about an area under the Featured Article for a 'Feat of the Day' with a link to a feat... --[[User:Calidore Chase|Calidore Chase]] 19:14, 19 April 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:If you go that route, you can just as well try to implement such a component feature for other groupings of data. Spell of the Day, NPC of the Day, etc. --[[User:Sulacu|Sulacu]] 18:54, 20 April 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::I agree, no such special section for feats is necessary, they can become featured as well ''';)'''. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 00:44, 21 April 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Link of the day? kinda like a word of the day feature... --[[User:Calidore Chase|Calidore Chase]] 08:10, 7 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Other Netbooks ==<br />
<br />
Does anyone know where to find the other netbooks from FanCC? I'd be interested in seeing them, possibly up on the wiki. {{Unsigned|Gruegirl|22:00, 23 April 2008 (MDT)}}<br />
<br />
:I am not sure, sorry. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 20:12, 29 April 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== 4th Edition Link ==<br />
<br />
I've had a thought; I think we could, and probably should, put the link to the 4th edition homebrew (and possibly the SRD, though we can't put it up yet, for obvious reasons) on the main page, because, as people in ENworld have proved, we have enough preveiw material from the PHB Lite (derived from the pregenerated characters and rogue preview) to make some powers, the 1st level for classes, and odd things here-and-there. As ENworld is already doing odd bits of 4e homebrew based on previews, we might as well provide a place for it to go now, rather than later.<br />
<br />
Also, my gaming group has started a 4e campaign with the Pre-Generated characters, and everything is ''so'' much more better than 3.5. The fighter felt more like a fighter than in 3.5. --[[User:Sam Kay|Sam Kay]] 12:26, 26 April 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Although as the deadline is drawing nearer and nearer I am leaning towards using the same revised 3e pages and just changing the identifier/creating a namespace for them. The voting (please see above discussion) outlined that the community would prefer that we distinguish 4e from 3.5e with just namespaces and categories. I know you have spent a lot of time on the 4e pages, however do we really need them? Is there any way we could utilize the current pages with 4e? Thoughts? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 00:16, 5 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Won't be playing 4e for quite a while. Checkbook ain't so hot right now. So I would personally prefer keeping a 3e section and a seperate 4e section. --[[User:Calidore Chase|Calidore Chase]] 08:13, 7 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::I don't think it would be possible anyway. I think it would be easier and less confusing to keep them seperate... --[[User:Sam Kay|Sam Kay]] 08:23, 7 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::I have had a look over the [[4e Homebrew]] page and checked it, and I think it is as ready as it can be before 4e comes out; we just need a preload for classes and dragons and we're fine (not enough info right now!); so as it's two weeks this friday I feel that we should put up the link for the 4th edition homebrew (but not the SRD!) ''now'' for the reasons I stated above. I don't think that we could combine the 3e and 4e sections, and I feel that it would be easier to use if they where seperate. --[[User:Sam Kay|Sam Kay]] 11:57, 21 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::Looks good, thanks for doing that. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 18:25, 22 July 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Random Link ==<br />
<br />
Would it be possible to add a random link to the navigation links too the side? This will allow for a more rounded out site over all. Eg. people are able to fix and contribute to content that they may not normally get to see. This will also allow DM's to make more interesting characters. --[[User:Sabre070|Sabre070]] 00:21, 6 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:I like the idea of a random page link too. Course there is one in the special pages link on the side and you could add one to your user page (as I have). --[[User:Calidore Chase|Calidore Chase]] 08:09, 7 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
==Featured User==<br />
How about a link to a particularly good user page. There are a few out there and it may encouraage others to create pages of their own. Maybe have a pool of good user pages that the link is randomly derived from. --[[User:Calidore Chase|Calidore Chase]] 08:07, 7 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:I vote no. --[[User:Othtim|Othtim]] 17:56, 16 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Any particular reason? --[[User:Calidore Chase|Calidore Chase]] 19:25, 16 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Perhaps because it could be taken as a glorification of the user chosen. [[User:OptimizationFanatic|OptimizationFanatic]] 19:54, 16 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::A little recognition isn't a bad thing. It would also be a way for newcomers to see what they can do for their user page. --[[User:Calidore Chase|Calidore Chase]] 20:41, 16 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::I am against it because it would further clutter the [[Main Page]] and I do not feel it would be used as much as, say, the FA link. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 22:21, 16 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::: I'm just imagining how it'd work:<br />
::::::: ''Sledged is a wiki admin who likes templates, optimizations, and long walks on the beach. Come visit his user page.''<br />
:::::: Gives me a little chuckle. —[[User:Sledged|Sledged]] ([[User talk:Sledged|talk]]) 22:28, 16 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::Ooh, I like long walks too... --[[User:Calidore Chase|Calidore Chase]] 17:38, 17 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
==Search Function Broken== <br />
Most searches return no pages; even a search as simple as &quot;magic&quot; gives an &quot;nothing found&quot; screen. [[User:Noname|Noname]] 21:13, 20 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Not that big of a problem... just search externally and it works fine. Just click a few extra times and your done. Nice to have it working again, but until then let's not make a huge deal of it. [[User:Palantini|Palantini]] 20:52, 21 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== 4e SRD ==<br />
<br />
There is some news about the 4e SRD [http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4news/20080606a here]. --[[User:Sam Kay|Sam Kay]] 03:03, 7 June 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== WYSIWYG extension ==<br />
<br />
I was thinking about how we want our users to have an easier time to post homebrew content. Then I realized that I spend a lot of time formatting tables and such. With a lot of website installations I do, I use Joomla, which comes with a built-in WYSIWYG editor. Well I did some research and apparently there is a good one for mediawiki. Take a look at [http://mediawiki.fckeditor.net/ http://mediawiki.fckeditor.net/]. I think this would be a sweet component to install -- for both new and experienced users. If there is a way to configure on your user profiler which editor to use, that would be even better (I'm not sure about that yet). --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 10:34, 20 June 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== ENWiki ==<br />
<br />
FYI. ENworld has opened a wiki. http://www.enworld.org/articles/EN_Wiki_Is_Open_For_Entries!/6718 {{Unsigned|Dmilewski|07:23, 7 July 2008 (MDT)}}<br />
<br />
:It seems like D&amp;D Wiki and ENworld Wiki have the same goals in common... I guess I just hope it dies out then, and luckily right now D&amp;D Wiki is far superior. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 16:22, 7 July 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:: Death to Enworld! Long live D&amp;D Wiki! Really I also hope their life will be short, after all we are far older.--[[User:Lord Dhazriel|Lord Dhazriel]] 16:24, 7 July 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::One big problem is that they continue to garner support from people on the WotC D&amp;D Forums. That is getting them to publish their Homebrew stuff on their site, while I find most users there do not even know we exist. It might be smart to more actively promote our Wiki among the Homebrewers there and try to solicate their content. Also ENworld seems to be pickier about submissions being completed within a timely fashion, and that they are grammatically correct with proper spelling. This may be something we should pay closer attention to; eliminating entries that have sat uncompleted for months on end, or ones that are painful to read because of grammer and/or spelling. -- [[User:Sepsis|Sepsis]] 15:42, 15 September 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
==Featured Articles==<br />
Yipes...I've heard it mentioned elsewhere but there really needs to be a schedule for changing out the '''Featured Article'''. The current one has been up for 7 or 8 months, and I know there are 11 current nominees. Perhaps the nominees need to be better presented so members can vote on them without it seeming like they must hunt to find them. -- [[User:Sepsis|Sepsis]] 11:28, 9 October 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Tamriel and Elder scrolls: oblivion ==<br />
<br />
The Campaign settings involving the elder scrolls universe should all be merged together this includes those discussing: Nirn Tamriel and the elder scrolls IV: Oblivion, the nine divines, daedra and aedra, the tribunal temple saints etc.. it is kind of pointless that we seperate and break all of these up<br />
<br />
<br />
--[[User:Moon Sugar Vehk|Moon Sugar Vehk]] 10:06, 27 October 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:I think you should put this on the oblivion page.. Also, I think it has stopped development.--[[User:Sabre070|Sabre070]] 16:52, 13 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Moving to new MediaWiki version ==<br />
<br />
Hello all! I have not been keeping up as well as I should have on updating D&amp;D Wiki, and have decided that we should get back on schedule. I went through all of the extensions and updated all of them that I could, and would really appreciate if people could go through a version of the site with the new MediaWiki (and extensions) installed, and let me know of any problems so they can be settled before I transfer over the site. The temporary site can be found at [http://test.kgprog.com/ test.kgprog.com]. If everyone would take a couple minutes and browse to the parts of D&amp;D Wiki that are really complicated, and then post the findings here, that would be great!<br />
<br />
Please note that right now MoI's and Search and not going to work. They are domain specific, and I feel that they will work on the new version. Everything else, however, I just blindly upgraded! &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 13:36, 28 October 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:A few things I just noticed on the spot. The categories look funny, and all the pages which use SMW things do not work (such as [[DnD Flaws]], [[DnD Traits]], [[DnD Sorcerer/Wizard Spells]], and the first part of [[3.5e Optimized Character Builds]] (4e pages are the same problem, of course)). Also [[DnD Equipment]] looks funny, and all the sub-pages of it do not work, like [[User Mundane Weapons]]. Also a white loading page now shows up when adding a page through a form. Other then that though, as far as I can tell, it looks great. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 13:40, 28 October 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Meta Pages ==<br />
<br />
I just added a link to [[Meta Pages]]. Thoughts? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 03:52, 20 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Downtime Today ==<br />
<br />
Hello all. Today a water pipe broke and completely destroyed our router shutting down D&amp;D Wiki for roughly 12 hours. I was not alerted to the problem until roughly 2:00 PM today, and it took several hours to get a new router for it and switch around the DNS. There will be some remaining problems throughout the week until a solid router can be used as a replacement. In the future I will make sure that there is not such a problematic single point of failure that can take the site down for such a long period of time, and I apologize for the lack of foresight in placing the router so close to a water line. Quite honestly, I didn't think that they randomly break. Strange.<br />
<br />
The servers were not affected by this outage, so none of the data should be lost. Please let me know if there are any D&amp;D Wiki specific errors which are occurring after this major outage.<br />
<br />
Also, the fundraiser at the end of this year will be used to invest in second router to gain redundancy and try to ensure that if something similar occurs this will not be an issue. <br />
<br />
Thank you all for your consideration, and I am sorry that this site has been so unreliable over the last few weeks. Reliability is now a much higher priority, and hopefully things should change after the new router. &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 21:23, 22 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
:As some of you might have noticed this last Wednesday we received a backup router. It has not had an issue since it was installed, and should be more than capable of handling D&amp;D Wiki's traffic for years to come. It has also been strategically placed away from areas that would cause such a major outage. &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 09:36, 29 November 2008 (MST)<br />

:I really believe we need to update our featured article more often. I know its unrealistic with our current size and contributerships to have a daily one just yet, but I believe that atleast monthly if not weekly is easily achievable.

We have reached a major milestone here, over 1,000,000 views of the main page of the wiki . While I'm not an admin, I thought that this moment deserves some sort of commemoration, however slight. -- [[User:Noname|Noname]] 19:34, 21 January 2009 (MST)<br />

== D&amp;D Classifieds? ==<br />
<br />
I had an idea, what if we created a page for people to register if there looking for groups and groups looking for people, we'd keep it to user names on the site for privacy. but they could register maybe what state there in, city perhaps, or country if there in europe or auistralia. that way people hwo are haveing trouble finding a group could have a good place to look. my only issue is privacy, but i think if we kept it on a user name basis on the site it would be fine. your thoughts?

<br />
:Hm... I wish you could make it work more like [[Form:Rating]] where it uses a template which, once saved, goes to the normal wiki formatting. Can this be done with spells as well? It's just that I do not really want the formatting of all the spells changed to this new &quot;standard&quot;. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 20:18, 5 March 2008 (MST)<br />

<br />
:::::Okay, there's a problem with &lt;tt&gt;subst:&lt;/tt&gt;. Part of the way to form works is that it looks at the template to see what properties it has and which parameters are associated with each property. When you use &lt;tt&gt;subst:&lt;/tt&gt;, it's looking for the page &lt;tt&gt;Template:subst:template name&lt;/tt&gt; instead of &lt;tt&gt;Template:template name&lt;/tt&gt; and it makes the form useless as a result. —[[User:Sledged|Sledged]] ([[User talk:Sledged|talk]]) 14:37, 6 March 2008 (MST)<br />

== Wiki Criticism ==<br />
<br />
This is the most useless Wiki I have ever found on D&amp;D. I'm sick of homebrew rubbish. I'm trying to find info on Mask and Olidamarra (spelling?) and I can't find anything good) {{unsigned| 68.193.215.240}}<br />
<br />
:Admittedly, this probably isn't the best wiki to go to for official WotC material, but that doesn't make it useless. What's wrong with homebrew? WotC seems to encourage it, and the only real difference between good homebrew and published material is that the former is sold in books. --[[User:Daniel Draco|Daniel Draco]] 05:40, 14 April 2008 (MDT)<br />

== Other Netbooks ==<br />
<br />
Does anyone know where to find the other netbooks from FanCC? I'd be interested in seeing them, possibly up on the wiki. {{Unsigned|Gruegirl|22:00, 23 April 2008 (MDT)}}<br />

<br />
== 4th Edition Link ==<br />
<br />
I've had a thought; I think we could, and probably should, put the link to the 4th edition homebrew (and possibly the SRD, though we can't put it up yet, for obvious reasons) on the main page, because, as people in ENworld have proved, we have enough preveiw material from the PHB Lite (derived from the pregenerated characters and rogue preview) to make some powers, the 1st level for classes, and odd things here-and-there. As ENworld is already doing odd bits of 4e homebrew based on previews, we might as well provide a place for it to go now, rather than later.<br />
<br />
Also, my gaming group has started a 4e campaign with the Pre-Generated characters, and everything is ''so'' much more better than 3.5. The fighter felt more like a fighter than in 3.5. --[[User:Sam Kay|Sam Kay]] 12:26, 26 April 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Although as the deadline is drawing nearer and nearer I am leaning towards using the same revised 3e pages and just changing the identifier/creating a namespace for them. The voting (please see above discussion) outlined that the community would prefer that we distinguish 4e from 3.5e with just namespaces and categories. I know you have spent a lot of time on the 4e pages, however do we really need them? Is there any way we could utilize the current pages with 4e? Thoughts? --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 00:16, 5 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Won't be playing 4e for quite a while. Checkbook ain't so hot right now. So I would personally prefer keeping a 3e section and a seperate 4e section. --[[User:Calidore Chase|Calidore Chase]] 08:13, 7 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::I don't think it would be possible anyway. I think it would be easier and less confusing to keep them seperate... --[[User:Sam Kay|Sam Kay]] 08:23, 7 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::I have had a look over the [[4e Homebrew]] page and checked it, and I think it is as ready as it can be before 4e comes out; we just need a preload for classes and dragons and we're fine (not enough info right now!); so as it's two weeks this friday I feel that we should put up the link for the 4th edition homebrew (but not the SRD!) ''now'' for the reasons I stated above. I don't think that we could combine the 3e and 4e sections, and I feel that it would be easier to use if they where seperate. --[[User:Sam Kay|Sam Kay]] 11:57, 21 May 2008 (MDT)<br />

== Random Link ==<br />
<br />
Would it be possible to add a random link to the navigation links too the side? This will allow for a more rounded out site over all. Eg. people are able to fix and contribute to content that they may not normally get to see. This will also allow DM's to make more interesting characters. --[[User:Sabre070|Sabre070]] 00:21, 6 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:I like the idea of a random page link too. Course there is one in the special pages link on the side and you could add one to your user page (as I have). --[[User:Calidore Chase|Calidore Chase]] 08:09, 7 May 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
==Featured User==<br />
How about a link to a particularly good user page. There are a few out there and it may encouraage others to create pages of their own. Maybe have a pool of good user pages that the link is randomly derived from. --[[User:Calidore Chase|Calidore Chase]] 08:07, 7 May 2008 (MDT)<br />

== WYSIWYG extension ==<br />
<br />
I was thinking about how we want our users to have an easier time to post homebrew content. Then I realized that I spend a lot of time formatting tables and such. With a lot of website installations I do, I use Joomla, which comes with a built-in WYSIWYG editor. Well I did some research and apparently there is a good one for mediawiki. Take a look at [http://mediawiki.fckeditor.net/ http://mediawiki.fckeditor.net/]. I think this would be a sweet component to install -- for both new and experienced users. If there is a way to configure on your user profiler which editor to use, that would be even better (I'm not sure about that yet). --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 10:34, 20 June 2008 (MDT)<br />

<br />
:::One big problem is that they continue to garner support from people on the WotC D&amp;D Forums. That is getting them to publish their Homebrew stuff on their site, while I find most users there do not even know we exist. It might be smart to more actively promote our Wiki among the Homebrewers there and try to solicate their content. Also ENworld seems to be pickier about submissions being completed within a timely fashion, and that they are grammatically correct with proper spelling. This may be something we should pay closer attention to; eliminating entries that have sat uncompleted for months on end, or ones that are painful to read because of grammer and/or spelling. -- [[User:Sepsis|Sepsis]] 15:42, 15 September 2008 (MDT)<br />

==Featured Articles==<br />
Yipes...I've heard it mentioned elsewhere but there really needs to be a schedule for changing out the '''Featured Article'''. The current one has been up for 7 or 8 months, and I know there are 11 current nominees.

The Campaign settings involving the elder scrolls universe should all be merged together this includes those discussing: Nirn Tamriel and the elder scrolls IV: Oblivion, the nine divines, daedra and aedra, the tribunal temple saints etc.. it is kind of pointless that we seperate and break all of these up<br />

== Moving to new MediaWiki version ==<br />
<br />
Hello all! I have not been keeping up as well as I should have on updating D&amp;D Wiki, and have decided that we should get back on schedule. I went through all of the extensions and updated all of them that I could, and would really appreciate if people could go through a version of the site with the new MediaWiki (and extensions) installed, and let me know of any problems so they can be settled before I transfer over the site. The temporary site can be found at [http://test.kgprog.com/ test.kgprog.com]. If everyone would take a couple minutes and browse to the parts of D&amp;D Wiki that are really complicated, and then post the findings here, that would be great!<br />
<br />
Please note that right now MoI's and Search and not going to work. They are domain specific, and I feel that they will work on the new version. Everything else, however, I just blindly upgraded! &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 13:36, 28 October 2008 (MDT)<br />

:A few things I just noticed on the spot. The categories look funny, and all the pages which use SMW things do not work (such as [[DnD Flaws]], [[DnD Traits]], [[DnD Sorcerer/Wizard Spells]], and the first part of [[3.5e Optimized Character Builds]] (4e pages are the same problem, of course)). Also [[DnD Equipment]] looks funny, and all the sub-pages of it do not work, like [[User Mundane Weapons]]. Also a white loading page now shows up when adding a page through a form. Other then that though, as far as I can tell, it looks great. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 13:40, 28 October 2008 (MDT)<br />

== Downtime Today ==<br />
<br />
Hello all. Today a water pipe broke and completely destroyed our router shutting down D&amp;D Wiki for roughly 12 hours. I was not alerted to the problem until roughly 2:00 PM today, and it took several hours to get a new router for it and switch around the DNS. There will be some remaining problems throughout the week until a solid router can be used as a replacement. In the future I will make sure that there is not such a problematic single point of failure that can take the site down for such a long period of time, and I apologize for the lack of foresight in placing the router so close to a water line. Quite honestly, I didn't think that they randomly break. Strange.<br />
<br />
The servers were not affected by this outage, so none of the data should be lost. Please let me know if there are any D&amp;D Wiki specific errors which are occurring after this major outage.<br />
<br />
Also, the fundraiser at the end of this year will be used to invest in second router to gain redundancy and try to ensure that if something similar occurs this will not be an issue. <br />
<br />
Thank you all for your consideration, and I am sorry that this site has been so unreliable over the last few weeks. Reliability is now a much higher priority, and hopefully things should change after the new router. &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 21:23, 22 November 2008 (MST)<br />

:As some of you might have noticed this last Wednesday we received a backup router. It has not had an issue since it was installed, and should be more than capable of handling D&amp;D Wiki's traffic for years to come.

== One MILLION Main Page Views! ==<br />

We have reached a major milestone here, over 1,000,000 views of the main page of the wiki . While I'm not an admin, I thought that this moment deserves some sort of commemoration, however slight. -- [[User:Noname|Noname]] 19:34, 21 January 2009 (MST)<br />

== D&amp;D Classifieds? ==<br />
<br />
I had an idea, what if we created a page for people to register if there looking for groups and groups looking for people, we'd keep it to user names on the site for privacy. but they could register maybe what state there in, city perhaps, or country if there in europe or auistralia. that way people hwo are haveing trouble finding a group could have a good place to look. my only issue is privacy, but i think if we kept it on a user name basis on the site it would be fine. your thoughts?

This is the most usefull Wiki I have ever found on D&amp;D, (and I've seen a LOT of on-line references). I am currently running an adventure and I keep this site open on my lap-top as I play. It saves me a great deal of time and speeds up play considerably. I almost never even open my Monster Manual anymore.<br />

== Issues with search ==<br />
<br />
I keep getting this message when searching:<br />
There was a problem with the wiki search. This is probably temporary; try again in a few moments, or you can search the wiki &lt;br /&gt; through an external search service.<br />
Is this just happening on my end? If so, how do I fix it? -- [[User:OptimizationFanatic|OptimizationFanatic]] &lt;small&gt;([[User talk:OptimizationFanatic|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/OptimizationFanatic|contrib]])&lt;/small&gt; 16:18, 17 May 2008 (MDT)<br />

== No Edit for You! ==<br />
<br />
For the last 3-4 days I have been unable to edit, preview, or otherwise alter any pages. I've tried both IE and Firefox on the matter. Now, i can create pages, but I can't do much after, as it will load and time out. Clearing cookies and the like has not helped and I am puzzled that at least once, it has gone through. I don't know if I'll even be able to post this. Can you help me out? <br />
<br />
This was the message that Eiji asked me to give you, from the Tavern.-- [[User:Ramses IV|Ramses IV]] 20:37, 11 June 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:After testing via proxy, the problem appears to be with his IP. — [[User:OptimizationFanatic|OptimizationFanatic]] &lt;small&gt;([[User talk:OptimizationFanatic|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/OptimizationFanatic|contrib]])&lt;/small&gt; 21:04, 11 June 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Hm... we do not run any extensive blacklists, but do you know if there is a problem with his ISP port connections, or something similar? If you want, I can mirror it on another domain and monitor closely what the problem is. &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 15:58, 14 June 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Server Info? ==<br />
<br />
I would like to connect to the Tavern via my own irc client and would like to request the server information.<br />
<br />
Thank you. {{unsigned|207.20.85.157|14:22, 12 June 2008 (MST)}}<br />
<br />
:Hello. The main reason that this is, as of right now, not allowed is due to the naming scheme used. The IRC client builds the nickname from the D&amp;D Wiki name, or uses the IP address. I will think about implementing some way to keep things working properly. Thank you for the suggestion! &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 15:59, 14 June 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Any Plans on Upgrading? ==<br />
<br />
Do you plan on upgrading MW anytime soon? And I can't seem to use the &quot;View and edit watchlist&quot; link in my watchlist. The browser just goes blank (the &quot;Edit raw watchlist&quot; link still works, though). —[[User:Sledged|Sledged]] ([[User talk:Sledged|talk]]) 10:49, 25 June 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Backspace ==<br />
<br />
There something that bother me a bit, when someone connect on the tavern, the cursor dissapear from the typing bar. If we were erasing something, we got disconnected, if we were type a long text and don't notice, we lose all we were typing. Anyway to fix that? Thank you in advance for your answer.--[[User:Lord Dhazriel|Lord Dhazriel]] 17:18, 27 June 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:This is unfortunately undoable server-side. It's the browser causing the issue, as, if you hit the backspace key and your cursor is not in the text field (which happens automatically when you hit backspace and the field is empty), it understands that you want to go back a page. Perhaps turning off that hotkey in your browser options would help. — [[User:OptimizationFanatic|OptimizationFanatic]] &lt;small&gt;([[User talk:OptimizationFanatic|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/OptimizationFanatic|contrib]])&lt;/small&gt; 19:27, 28 June 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== WikiRPS ==<br />
<br />
Do you have any contact ties to the WikiRPS 'crew'? I hate to use this talk page, and am sorry, but it is perhaps the best chance here. I am interested in resurrecting the WikiRPS project, and getting Cúthalion and others back would really help a lot, so if you could possibly get them, I'd be grateful. If you could also please reply [http://www.wikirps.org/wiki/User_talk:Minozake here], it'd be appreciated. I've been fairly active in dirty-polishing some of the pages, but I would feel better if I wasn't alone. Thank you, Minozake, AKA [[User:97.86.250.154|97.86.250.154]] 22:23, 16 July 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Tavern Down? ==<br />
<br />
The tavern says:<br />
<br />
:Connecting to goldmine [166.70.99.91] port 6667<br />
:An error occurred: Connecting to IRC: Connection timed out (60 seconds)<br />
<br />
Is this a local error or is it an error with the tavern's hosting? --[[User:Sabre070|Sabre070]] 04:08, 20 July 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:I believe the issue was a power surge were the servers are kept, so the server &quot;goldmine&quot; was down. Anyway, it works now ''':)'''. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 09:18, 20 July 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Tavern Bug Fixing ==<br />
<br />
I think I have found the source of the backspace bug (using a nifty program called firebug). Would it be possible for you to send me the tavern .cgi files so I can edit them? --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 06:01, 24 July 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Hi Blue Dragon, the backspace bug occurs when a user enters the Tavern. What happens is: you are in the Tavern and another user enters. Your focus on the chat textbox leaves and goes on to the actual web page. So if you were typing something and you start to press backspace to correct a typo (for instance), pressing backspace causes the browser to go back. --[[User:208.90.100.164|208.90.100.164]] 17:45, 29 August 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Oh I wrote that. I wasn't logged in at the time. --[[User:Aarnott|Aarnott]] 17:34, 3 September 2008 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Ah, okay! [http://www.dandwiki.com/irclogin.txt Here] is a link to the CGI script that you were looking for. Let me know if this helps! Also, if you want me to work on this problem, then just let me know. &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 19:55, 3 September 2008 (MDT)<br />

== Working on a RPG wiki, and stumped by Semantic Forms. ==<br />
<br />
<br />
A good morning to you sir. ''':)'''. I am MOST impressed with the tables for flaws, and I would love to implement something similar for my own Wiki. (Immitation is after all the most sincere form of Flattery. :) ) Somewhat adapted for Skills in ArsMagica though. <br />
<br />
I see that your Form for flaws uses subst: ... which my own installation doesn't recognize. Is that from MediaWiki SemanticWiki or is there something else I am doing wrong? I really like the idea of being able to add a listing on one place and the skills/npcs/virtues/flaws in another place. <br />

And the tavern seem to have some problem recently, I don't know if it temporary. --[[User:Lord Dhazriel|Lord Dhazriel]] 11:51, 5 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Dandwiki.com error ==<br />
Earlier (about 15 minutes ago at max) the wiki wouldn't let me connect due to &quot;Too many connections (local host)&quot;.. Whats happening? Is this a hosting error or is it due to too many people accessing the wiki? (Possibly a 'denial of service' attack)? --[[User:Sabre070|Sabre070]] 01:53, 17 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the error report. What actually happened during that time was I tried to make a backup of the database as quickly as possible. I have realized that this site needs to make periodic backups, and so I have started dumping the database going for speed of the dump instead of an extended period of continued slow use. I think I just chose an arbitrary time... something like 1 AM MST. Do you feel that I should slow the dumping script down so it will take about an hour but the site will be usable throughout that time? Thanks again! &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 08:17, 17 November 2008 (MST)<br />

== WikiRPS down ==<br />
<br />
I get a 403 error when I try to access WikiRPS. May I get the status? [[User:Minozake|Minozake]] 16:58, 18 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Hello Minozake. Thank you for this error report, it should be working now. &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 08:34, 20 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
==Usernames==<br />
Can you change people's usernames? I am asking on behalf of [[User:-Spasm-]] Who added his -'s (as he does everywhere) without realising that 1) it won't work in the tavern and 2) it looks really bad.. He was wondering if he could remove these from his username? --[[User:Sabre070|Sabre070]] 00:46, 19 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Hello Sabre070. I have made it so that his &quot;-&quot; should be replaced with underscores in the Tavern. Let me know if this doesn't work fully, and also if he wants his name to be changed from within the Wiki also. Thanks! &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 08:37, 20 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
==Random Page==<br />
I was wondering if there was any plans or thoughts on putting a &quot;Random Article&quot; link on the navigation menu on the left. Not sure if others find it valuable, but I always personally enjoy finding things I'd never search for myself that way.

== Tavern bug - Fake Username? ==<br />
<br />
It just says fake username when I try to access the Tavern. [[User:Hach-Que|Hach-Que]] 04:35, 22 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
: The problem lies in the dash in your username and a recent change to the Tavern, I expect. I have the same problem. --[[User:TK-Squared|TK-Squared]] 05:43, 22 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
::I am sorry about those problems. Please let me know if it works now. &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 21:13, 22 November 2008 (MST)<br />

== D&amp;D Wiki Hosting ==<br />
<br />
So, the wiki is hosted in your own home? Does this cost money? If so how much? --[[User:Sabre070|Sabre070]] 21:38, 22 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
:[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] and I are twins, and this is none of your business. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 14:18, 24 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
::I was going to offer hosting from Servage. Its only $8.35AU per month and has basically unlimited bandwidth. --[[User:Sabre070|Sabre070]] 14:20, 24 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::Oh, that's the case. I don't know, although I imagine he would be more then happy to host your website. Not sure how much he would charge though. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 14:36, 24 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::I was more thinking of changing the wiki to this hosting (if it was cheaper). --[[User:Sabre070|Sabre070]] 22:15, 24 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::::Absolutely no, that will not happen. Kgprog hosting by far and large exceeds any commercial hosting and it is tailored for wiki's (please see discussion below). --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 07:27, 25 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
== D&amp;D Wiki Forum ==<br />
<br />
We have a forum template for the &quot;dnd wiki 'official' forum&quot;. It is located here: [[User:Hach-Que|Hach-Que's user page]]. I was wondering if it would be possible to put it in a frame? On a special page and then have the link below the tavern? --[[User:Sabre070|Sabre070]] 21:38, 22 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Woah, when did we decide D&amp;D Wiki needs a forum? And please do not try to get the forum implemented on the back-end of D&amp;D WIki without even discussing it. It will clutter up the code, and make it messy. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 14:16, 24 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I was just wondering if it was possible, also the reason it needs a forum is due to the large number of users that go elsewhere to play. Plus, we've got inbuilt character sheets ;P --[[User:Sabre070|Sabre070]] 14:22, 24 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
::Also, it was that we were making the forum system anyway and I didn't know if it was possible to have it hosted on the same site (would have more users and would allow more dandwiki users to use it). Else, we are going to host it on our own web server that will have it open to other role playing games. Another reason why we wanted it with the wiki was that we were going to implement a feature that links pages and descriptions automatically. Sorry for seeming to implement without discussion I just wanted to make sure if it was possible. --[[User:Sabre070|Sabre070]] 22:21, 24 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::The forum code is not even close to being finished right now, and probably won't have any development done on it until after end of January when I've finished working solidly on Roket3D --[[User:Hach-Que|Hach-Que]] 07:08, 30 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::If you guys have a working model anytime soon I would imagine [[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] would be more then willing to set up a test website for beta testing. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 13:23, 28 May 2009 (MDT)<br />
<br />
==Contact (off wiki)==<br />
<br />
Is there a way e can contact you if the wiki goes down? Like, a gmail accout ect.? --[[User:Sabre070|Sabre070]] 14:00, 24 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Yes, of course. I'll send you an email about it. Also, the hosting that I am using is quite a bit more advanced than what would be available with a hosting plan through a company... e.g. think about the Tavern and the MoI system. Also, I have a nearly dedicated dual dual-core 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon box running this wiki, which is nothing close to the power that &lt;$50/month hosting would get me. This site gets around 400,000 page hits per day. Thanks for the offer though! &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 22:43, 24 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
:: Also, with regards to the above statement about having hosting on this machine, I would definitely be willing to take it into consideration. Price is not an issue, and even with this weekend of D&amp;D Wiki being basically dead, this machine (tundra) has about 98.5% uptime. However, this discussion should definitely be talked about on the main page or something! &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 22:46, 24 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />
::Another issue with the offer to host offsite is that Wikis require much more server side optimization to run adequately, and putting this website on a box that I don't have control over would not allow me to do any of that. Not to mention that I don't trust other people more than I trust myself ...

==Template Question==<br />
I was trying to code a template navbox (you can see an example of the end-goal layout style of said template at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:D%26D_materials) and am having extreme difficulties (see: &lt;s&gt;Template:Valgora&lt;/s&gt;). Is it just not possible with this different wiki or am I doing something grossly wrong? If not possible we can delete the template page I was trying. &amp;nbsp;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;border: 1px solid blue; -moz-border-radius:10px&quot;&gt;[[User:Hooper|'''&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:White; color:FireBrick; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px&quot;&gt; Hooper &lt;/span&gt;''']][[User talk:Hooper|&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:red; color:blue; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;talk&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;]][[Special:Contributions/Hooper|&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:red; color:blue&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;contribs&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;]][[Special:Emailuser/Hooper|&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:red; color:blue; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:10px; -moz-border-radius-topright:10px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;email&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;]]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 10:38, 29 November 2008 (MST)<br />
<br />

::Hey Hooper. Don't worry, as it stands right now it is not possible. I will put it on my list of things to get working eventually, but for now you might want to implement another solution.

== Nickname Already in Use? ==<br />
<br />
the tavern is telling me that my nickname is already in use. I was chatting and then , boom. It stopped letting me on. {{unsigned|Big rob}}<br />
<br />
:Happens all the time. What probably happened is that someone entered the chat, which takes the focus off the text box and onto the page. When you press backspace, it takes you back one page. The tavern didn't know you left, so when you tried to re-enter, it still thought you were there. When it tells you your name is already in use, enter '''/nick newnick''', where newnick is a temporary username. What I usually do to prevent the backspace thing from happening in the first place is this: when I open the tavern, I do so in a new tab or window. That way, there are no previous pages for it to go back to, and the backspace bug can't happen. --[[User:Daniel Draco|Daniel Draco]] 16:56, 31 December 2008 (MST)<br />

I had talked with you very shortly before about a possible navigational template for the bottom of pages that would be able to be minimized (ala [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:D%26D_books]). You said this would be something we could possibly eventually work towards. I'd love to see a feature such as this and a right-side template (ala country pages on wikipedia). Just curious what I could do to help spur this or what progress had been made on such a feature. Thanks. &amp;nbsp;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;border: 1px solid blue; -moz-border-radius:10px&quot;&gt;[[User:Hooper|'''&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:White; color:FireBrick; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px&quot;&gt; Hooper &lt;/span&gt;''']][[User talk:Hooper|&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:red; color:blue; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;talk&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;]][[Special:Contributions/Hooper|&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:red; color:blue&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;contribs&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;]][[Special:Emailuser/Hooper|&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:red; color:blue; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:10px; -moz-border-radius-topright:10px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;email&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;]]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 21:29, 4 March 2009 (MST)<br />

== The Tavern's Web Interface Sucks ==<br />
<br />
We need to get access to the tavern with a REAL IRC client already. That, or get rid of that stupid thing that pulls focus away from the text input box whenever somebody logs in or out. That is the most annoying bug ever. [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] 22:56, 11 March 2009 (MDT)<br />
<br />
== Divine Salient Abilities ==<br />
<br />
It is not possible to create new Divine Salient Abilities. The link on the page leads to the Deity creation page instead.<br />

== Load times on DPL/semantic wiki pages are very, very bad ==<br />
<br />
:''Discussion moved from [[User talk:Green Dragon#Load times on DPL/semantic wiki pages are very, very bad]]''<br />
<br />
The load times on pages like [[DnD Base Classes]] are absolutely horrendous. While this would normally not be horrible, the server seems to be single threaded so one person loading that page causes every other request to wait until that page is loaded -- and that's really bad.<br />
<br />
I understand that the sort of DPL/Semantic Wiki requests are time-intensive thanks to the database search. There is a way around that, though. Why not have all of these pages like [[DnD Base Classes] cached every 12 or 24 hours? Every time it's requested, the page will just load from the cache. Then every 12 hours the page cache will be automatically updated. Seems like a good solution to a really bad problem. [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] 12:41, 17 March 2009 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Also, if mediawiki doesn't support this sort of caching by default, the pages can be generated by a bot that runs every 12 to 24 hours instead. [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] 12:42, 17 March 2009 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::The server is not single threaded... that is ridiculous. However, the server is designed to wait for a request to be carried out by a user before sending more data out to the user. It will not lock up the site; it will lock up D&amp;D Wiki for that user until the page is loaded. &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 12:50, 17 March 2009 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::I also do not see this as being a major problem. Loading the page takes roughly 10 seconds for me. Also, squid is already being used to handle several aspects of caching. If there is a demand, I could enable some PHP caching. &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 12:52, 17 March 2009 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Okay, that's cool. My mistake on the single-threaded business: I tried giving a bunch of requests at once with all of them lagging and immediately assumed it's single-threaded; for some reason (my own momentary stupidity) I hadn't thought to test it with multiple people.

== api.php editing ==<br />
<br />
Hi Blue,<br />
<br />
Could you possibly turn on write access through api.php for administrators only? [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] 12:16, 1 April 2009 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:You might have missed the reasons, so I'll state it here. I have a bot to run that will cleanly move the entire (DnD X) stuff to (3.5e X) stuff, update all backlinks, and remove the old pages. It needs write access to api.php enabled (at least for administrators) to run, though. [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] 16:46, 8 April 2009 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::Okay, not a problem. Let me know if it works. ''':)''' &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 16:52, 8 April 2009 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::If you mean right now, no (action=edit, action=move, action=delete still aren't showing up in [http://www.dandwiki.com/w/api.php]). If you mean &quot;when you tell me to&quot;, no problem, I'll let you know. Thanks! [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] 16:56, 8 April 2009 (MDT)<br />

<br />
:::::It does not show up for me (logged in currently) nor my bot (which logs in via api.php in my name). When I try &quot;action=edit&quot; manually after logging in via api.php (again manually) I get &amp;lt;error code=&quot;unknown_action&quot; info=&quot;Unrecognised value for parameter 'action'&quot;&amp;gt; [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] 17:19, 8 April 2009 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::::::That is quite odd. I have set $wgEnableWriteAPI = true; in my LocalSettings.php file, but I can confirm it does not work. (It will give you edit tokens, however). I have a pretty good feeling that if we go ahead and upgrade D&amp;D Wiki to MediaWiki 1.14 this problem should go away without me having to play around with the code. Would you be willing to help get 1.14 to run well with this site? I set an install up awhile ago, but nobody went through the pages and ensured that they worked. Maybe I should just upgrade the site and hope that people will settle the issues soon enough. Any thoughts? &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 08:08, 10 April 2009 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::::::Sure, I'll help, though I'm not sure what needs to be done exactly. Also, in the newest MediaWiki version there's a way to set write module privileges for specific groups (so you can only allow administrators+ to access write via api.php, for example).<br />
<br />
::::::::I might want to look into that, but it doesn't seem like much of a security risk to me. CAPTCHAs are still preserved, for example. And it's entirely possible to write a WWW::Mechanize script that will edit without the API, so it's not like we would be preventing some attack. However, with the current MediaWiki version, it has write disabled by default and $wgEnableWriteAPI needs to be set to true for write access. I'm feeling right now like it would be more worth it to just upgrade. &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 08:50, 10 April 2009 (MDT)<br />

As stated on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VariablesExtension with the version of VariablesExtension and MediaWiki we have running, to use these kinds of statements inside of an if we need the Control Structure Functions extension.

== Tavern Op Security Hole ==<br />
<br />
Discovered by an IP (all credit to him), all you have to do is go to the web client's login window, set whatever nick you want (an administrator nick), and The_Innkeeper will op you. IMHO the best way to fix it is to use a proper IRC network that can be connected with clients as well as web clients and actually has a chanserv and nickserv. [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] 23:23, 24 April 2009 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:This has been fixed. The reason that the Tavern is not a proper IRC network is to associate usernames with the corresponding usernames on D&amp;D Wiki.

We are really, really, really sick of the horrible web-application chat that is The Tavern. Can we '''please''' make it go to a proper IRC server that we can connect to with proper IRC clients already? Preferably one with Nickserv/Chanserv to fix other lingering problems? We've already created a channel, irc.synirc.net #thetavern; maybe the web client can just point to there? [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] 18:36, 4 May 2009 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:The Tavern is currently hosted on D&amp;D Wiki's servers. There is no reason to spread the site out to other people right now. D&amp;D Wiki is primarily designed to be a wiki, and secondarily designed to support chatting. There are many other places on the Internet where users can chat about D&amp;D related materials. Also, please do not advocate for users to leave D&amp;D Wiki for what you would consider to be D&amp;D Wiki areas. &amp;mdash; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#002137;&quot;&gt;[[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]] &lt;small&gt; ([[User_talk:Blue Dragon|talk]])&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 23:00, 8 May 2009 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::From a standpoint those of us that use irc do not care about spreading irc, we simply do not want to deal with a chat client that is buggy, causes IE/Firefox to use TONS of memory and ends up lagging up our systems when trying to browse unless you go clear the cache every 2 minutes. We simply would like a method for opening up the chat so that it allows a more streamlined method. You don't have to remove the current client at all to encourage new users, but as it stands it is mostly the same people who use irc anyhow. I mean if it really comes down to it I guess I could suggest we all move off the websites irc and onto an unaffiliated network so we don't have to handle the chat client and inability to have other ircs open through it... -- [[User:Sleaker|Sleaker]] 02:09, 9 May 2009 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:::Personally (not trying to be rude) I would be fine with moving The Tavern into the standard IRC structure and off D&amp;D Wiki. However then it would be unaffiliated with D&amp;D Wiki and as such no link would be supplied. Also, if that was the case (unaffiliation with D&amp;D Wiki) then usernames, userstatus in The Tavern, etc would be become irrelevant. I am not positive - we really should decide. --[[User:Green Dragon|Green Dragon]] 12:52, 28 May 2009 (MDT)<br />

== Even More Tavern Issues!!! ==<br />

Hey Blue, I used to be a regular bar fly in the tavern until i lost my computer, I got a new laptop, and the tavern would only show white, everyone could read what i typed, but i couldnt see anything. Very rarely, perhaps once a week, it would work. Other times, there would be like a three minute lag on everything i wrote. I didnt want to bother you about this because i figured it was only my laptop. But lately, the tavern has been having similar problems on my friends computers and my moms computer, where it always used to work. This makes me wonder if it has something to do with IP Addresses, I'm no computer programmer, but ids there someway the tavern would be fudgey on all people of a particular area? I live in Arizona. I have tried Internet explorer, firefox, safari and chrome, Nothing has worked, so i come to you for suggestions. Thank you, [[User:Summerscythe|Summerscythe]] 12:04, 8 June 2009 (MDT)<br />

I suppose you would be the one to talk to on the headlined subject. I feel very eager to help, but I had trouble finding the proper channels. I have left a list of questions in the discussion page of the to do do list: http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/D%26D_Wiki_talk:Things_to_do#Sourcebooks<br />
<br />
Eager to help,<br />

::My question is this: Do we really need the Tavern? It seems to distract people from actually using the wiki itself, and most of the people who truly stayed in it are at the other wiki. I don't know how the backside is, but would losing it help with storage/loading/etc. etc.? Do we have more benefits with it or without it? Just thoughts. &amp;nbsp;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;border: 1px solid black; -moz-border-radius:10px&quot;&gt;[[User:Hooper|'''&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:White; color:Black; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px&quot;&gt; Hooper &lt;/span&gt;''']][[User talk:Hooper|&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:Black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;talk&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;]][[Special:Contributions/Hooper|&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:black; color:white&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;contribs&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;]][[Special:Emailuser/Hooper|&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:10px; -moz-border-radius-topright:10px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;email&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;]]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 21:14, 26 August 2009 (MDT)<br />

:I believe BD may not be as available, but I'm sure GD is aware of the problem. Especially considering most of this page is just Tavern Issues. &amp;nbsp;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;border: 1px solid black; -moz-border-radius:10px&quot;&gt;[[User:Hooper|'''&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:White; color:Black; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px&quot;&gt; Hooper &lt;/span&gt;''']][[User talk:Hooper|&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:Black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;talk&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;]][[Special:Contributions/Hooper|&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:black; color:white&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;contribs&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;]][[Special:Emailuser/Hooper|&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:10px; -moz-border-radius-topright:10px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;email&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;]]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 19:53, 8 September 2009 (MDT)<br />
